Lord of the Flies

Hey Everyone,

***Spoiler Alert***

I know that I haven't reviewed a book in a while, but tonight I have some time to blog and last week I finished the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding. This was a book that I was required to read for school, and although the book was not something that interested me it was very well written. Golding did an amazing of using literally devices, especially symbolism. And although at times it can be hard to understand what the theme might be or what these symbols actually mean Golding does a wonderful job of explaining man's essential illness. Anyway to sum the story in a couple of sentences a group of English boys end up stranded on island with no adults, shelter, or food, so they have to use their surroundings to create shelter and find food. The boys begin very civilized but as time passes on the island they become very uncivilized. They spilt into two different groups and before the ending where the boys are rescued, a couple of the boys are killed. This book gets "3 books" because although it was very well written, it was at times a little too descriptive and not interesting to me.

No New Blog Title

Hey Everyone,
Okay so even after an extra week I only got one title for the blog contest so I decided that there is not going to be a new title. The title will remain Book Chat Central, but maybe down the road when more people start reading the blog (hint hint spread the word and get your friends to read) I will host a contest.
